I don't have wi-fi on my Sprint Tour, but web browsing the passed few days has been really slow and laggy...on a side note, today, in the middle of me trying to load a webpage, my phone decided to restart itself. I had 50% battery left and when it turned on again I only had 3!!! :p

I've been having major issues receiving emails, BBM's and connecting to internet during certain times of the day on wifi and mobile network but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with BIS? Orange mobile, Torch Device, Liverpool.

I think here (Portugal) also, although my original carrier is Dutch (Vodafone).
Since I updated (Bold 9700) from OS 5.0.0.862 to OS 6.0.0.546 yesterday (June 7) I cannot reinstall my email accounts ("no accounts activated"), BBM seems not to work, cannot login on Windows Live Messenger or Facebook, BlackBerry Protect - through only my Wifi network, as I don't wan't to roam. But these worked fine in OS 5 before.

BIS went down for me last night at around 9pm but came back around 2am, browsing the internet was really slow, BBM's did not even bother sending until the service was back up and Facebook was practically unusable. I got some ridiculous broadcast messages from my bbm contacts saying that BIS had been hacked and that I would need to send some 10 digit code to all my contacts to get it working again, I LOL'D so hard. However I've noticed since the service has come back BIS seems to be working alot faster. I'm on Tmobile UK in London btw.

Whoever the retard who wrote that BC has no idea about the BB community, gotta love that apparently, RIM only has 1 CEO: Jim Balsamic LOL that's not even the guys name, it's Balsilie :s plus no mention of Mr. Lazaridis, so not impressed...

BIS is so redundant technology. I'm gonna ditch my BB to the next gen. iPhone. iOS 5 is very impressive and I don't have to pay for email, messaging and calendar syncing any fees. I can use all those things through 3G or WiFi without paying fees to Apple like I'm paying now to RIM though I use pre paid BB without any contract.

Um, I hate to tell you this, but with the iPhone, you will still have to pay for all that stuff. It's called a "data plan." Good luck trying to find a pre-paid, fully-functioning iPhone5 without any contract.

I''m in Spain and have had this problem for the past 3 days. No BIS over WIFI, BB icon doesn't drop down and no connection under BB infrastructure in WIFI diagnostics. I thought it was carrier related and spent over an hour on the phone argiing with them. Phewwwww!
